when Watts was disqualified in the
hig-h jump after clearing the bar at
5 feet 11 3-4 inches, the height at
which four others tied. He was de
clared to be diving over the bar.
Only three Conference marks were
bettered this year. Bracey and Lea-
land were sure bets to better forme
marks, but the elements bested the
two flyers and new Records were
established only in the field -events.
Two of the records were set by Ag
gies and the third by Captain Leo
Baldwin of Texas. Floyd, sophomore

tered the javelin throw by eleven
feet when tied wings on the shaf
for 204 feet, 4 1-2 inches. The form
er record was set by Ox Dieterich in
1925 when he set the record with a
193 foot, 5 inch heave. Smith’s leap
of 23 feet, 5 1-2 inches was expect
ed to stay put, but Farmer shaded
the former Longhonr’s star’s mark
by 4 1-2 inches. Baldwin broke his
own record of 144 feet, 4 1-2 inches
in the discus with a 153 foot, 4 inch
thriw. At the present time Texas
University athletes hold 7 of the re
cords in the conference, the Aggies
4, Rice 2, S. M. U. 1, and Rice and
5. M. U. 1 jointly.
Cy Leland, T. C. U. Soph flash,
bested the Dixie Flyer in the fur
long after Bracey had nosed him out

rather slow' on account of the strong
wind but both races were the high
lights of the meet.

The ma’n objection against the
recognition of swimming as a minor
sport here now is the lack of a suit

on the board, but as yet no entries
have been made for the Aggies in
the half mile free style race.
The meet Sunday will be the fifth
for the Aggie aggregation since its
organization three years ago, and
the team has yet to taste the cutting
sting of defeat. The first year there
was not one meet scheduled, while
two were run off last year and one
so far th's year. During this time
the Cadets have lost but three first
places and tied for one in individual
races in meets.
The contest Sunday will be watch
ed with interest by all devotees of
the watery sport here, for strong ef
forts are being made to include
swimming in the list of Southwest
ern Conference minor spirts. The
Aggies are at present about the class
of the loop, and will likely continue
in this position for another year at
least. It is understood that the mat
ter will be brought up before a meet
ing of representatives of all schools
in the conference, and that both A.

high school team, also took high
scoring honors when he Accounted
for ten po'nts of his teams’ points.
Hale of Smithville was second with
9, and Holloway of Lufkin third with
8 1-3.
Although several Conference times
and distances made this season in
dual meets were equaled by the
high school lads, only one meet re
cord was broken and two tied. Baxar
of Nacokdoches, coached by Sprott,
former Bible All-american linesman,
cleared the bar at 12 feet and broke
the only record. Hale of Sm thville
and Aucion of San Jacinto cleared
the bar with six feet leaps, going
as high as anyone in the conference
has been able (to jump this year.
This tied the previous record of Phil
ips of main Avenue made in 1926.
The 100-yard dash was also equaled
w'th 10 seconds flat. Holloway step
